I normally trailer my boat and just put it in the water when I want to use it. Due to high water in the lake that I normally go to most of the ramps are under water. The DNR closes the ramps (the 2 that are open) when the parking lot fills up so if your not at the lake by 7am you are screwed:eek: To be sure I have a good bating weekend I have rented a slip from the marina, I will put it in tonight and take it out Monday:D

Will I have a bunch of crap built up after sitting in the water for 4 days? If so, what is the best way to clean it off? I normally wipe it down after each use but that is not possible this weekend.

Thanks, Have a great and safe weekend!

I've only had normal dirt "bathtub rings" from leaving boat in a lake. Just a normal wash using good boat soap too care of it. I guess it could vary a lot based on the lake and water.

Not a problem. Wash her down with some water when you take her out on Monday.

Mine sits for two months. Yours should be fine after a weekend.
